"Every UAS or UAV differs depending upon its design and manufacturing process, but when it comes to certification, they all have to follow the same FAA standards and protocols," says Maribeth. To get the required certification, the clients have to go through three different groups within the FAA: Aircraft Maintenance and Engineering Group, the Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), and the Los Angeles Aircraft Certification Office (LAACO). Then, based on a customer's operations and regulatory requirements, ARGUS guides them through every step of the certification journey.ARGUS International, thus, is making the certification process simpler and more seamless.
